7. 6 Median (Put in order of size then find the middle number) 42781 12 9 Median = 7 13 7 + 8 2 = 7.5 What if there is an even number of numbers ? Menu

8. 7 Another Method of Locating The Median From Raw Data 2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 9, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15, 18 Firstly count how many numbers there are in the list. 15 Then ADD 1 and divide by 2 + 1 2 = 16 2 = 8 th number. Now count to it. Median = 9 What if there is an even number of numbers ? Menu

9. 8 What if there is an even number of numbers ? 3, 5, 7, 11, 11, 13, 15, 21, 22, 23, 26, 30 Count how many numbers there are: 12 Then ADD 1 and divide by 2 + 1 2 = 13 2 = 6.5 th number Between the 6 th & 7 th numbers Median = 14 Menu
